These watertight trough-like channels could be built to span a long distance across chasms and down steep mountain slopes.
It is popular with trail runners, mountain bikers, walkers and hikers - of all ability levels - and used by locals, visitors, families and individuals. The route runs along what used to be a âflumeâ for commercial logging in the Lake Tahoe basin during the late 1800âs. There are still some remnants of the original flume structure. For many years no part of the trail was âauthorizedâ by the primary landowner - the US Forest Service.
